A.M. Roundup: Bill, we hardly knew ye.

Good morning! It was a demoralizing puck night for the Empire State, with losses to two teams from Florida (!) and Philly (ugh). The Rangers gave up two goals in nine seconds in their 2-1 loss to the Lightning, while the Islanders lost to the Panthers and the Sabres fell to the Flyers.

At least the Devils beat the Canadiens.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in New York City today with no announced public schedule, and the Legislature is not in session, so expect the Capitol to much quieter than the last two days.

Despite having just been re-elected, Cuomo’s might-be gubernatorial rival, Republican Westchester County Exec Rob Astorino, will be fundraising tonight in Tarrytown.

On to the headlines…

U.S. Rep. Bill Owens stunned upstate Democrats when he abruptly announced Tuesday that he would not seek re-election this year. (TU)

Citing a lack of contrition on the part of Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, the lawyer representing six of the seven women who have accused him of sexual harassment released evidence Tuesday that he says back up their claims — including this creepy video of the Buffalo-area Democrat doing…something… in a bathroom stall.

Citing ecological, safety and financial concerns, the state will dismantle Marcy Dam, a landmark for hikers in the Adirondacks’ High Peaks Wilderness Area that was damaged by Tropical Storm Irene. (AP)

Times Union: We need a full accounting here. Mr. Gabryszak, a Depew Democrat, shouldn’t be able to simply walk away in whatever shame he’s capable of. It shouldn’t have to fall on the victims of sexual harassment to get their only justice in court.

New York Post: New York’s GOP must be in dire straits if its state chairman has to beg his fellow Republicans not to endorse a Democratic governor for re-election.
